    Servicio para la adopción y la tenencia responsable de los perros que se encuentran en las fundaciones de animales de la ciudad de Medellín
    (2021) Salgado Bermúdez, Daniela; Padilla Betancur, Andrés
    Currently the city of Medellin has several centers and animal foundations to improve the quality of life for animals through adoption, daily, these centers are approached by people looking for the possibility of including a pet in their homes, they must go through a process in which it is determined if they are qualified or not to have the animal, However, in many occasions, adopters make the decision to adopt without a deep and conscious reflection about the commitment they are going to assume with the animal, having as a consequence the abandonment of these pets after being adopted, increasing in this way the number of animals in the streets of the city. An analysis of the different aspects and commitments that people must take before making the choice of adopting was made, including: the space, the time available, the money that must be invested to supply the needs of the pet and ensure its wellbeing. To solve this situation, a service was developed that is present in the different phases involved in the adoption process, allowing users to adopt through an application that generates a match with a dog from a foundation in the city by creating profiles, these profiles are created by asking questions related to the lifestyle of the users and the characteristics of the dogs that are in the foundations, the service in turn provides assistance for the adaptability of the dog in its new home.
